Astilbe, Mighty Chocolate Cherry 2/3 eye

One 2-3 eye bare root.
 
Mighty Chocolate Cherry Astilbe adds a bold pop of raspberry red buds that bloom into rich cherry plumes of flowers on crimson red stems and a chocolatey green foliage. So dramatic! This plant gets very tall, and works incredibly for fall bouquet filler using the foliage for those dramatic fall time hues. In the landscape, this beauty in full bloom will be noticed from a long ways away. Once finished blooming, the foliage is beautiful, rich and full. 
 
Astilbe is a workhorse on the Flower Farm. Not only does it produce beautiful plumes of colorful filler, the foliage is used from early spring until freeze up for greenery in bouquets. Astilbe thrives in shade and moist soil and is a very beautiful landscape perennial for our Northern Climate.

Growing Note: We find astilbe handles day length better when the soil is amended with worm castings at time of planting. In 2025/2026 trials we had astilbe tolerate full sun when amended with worm castings. Astilbe generally prefers full shade here in the north, however they have proven to tolerate pretty much any day length with healthy soil and lots of hydration.
